This energetic boy is Cosmo! He is searching for a patient and understanding home where he can continue to build his confidence.  When he first arrived in our care, he was extremely timid and nervous, finding new people and situations overwhelming.  Since then, he has made good progress and is beginning to show his true friendly personality.  Once he gets to know you, he will happily come over for a fuss and interaction, often greeting you with a wagging tail and a much more relaxed attitude.  He is a friendly dog at heart, but he can become quite excitable and will jump up when seeking attention.  He is also vocal in his kennel and isn’t shy about letting you know when he would like some company or affection.  On walks, he is enthusiastic and currently pulls on the lead, so he will benefit from continued training and guidance.  He is also very unsure around other dogs and will require ongoing socialisation to help build his confidence and improve his interactions with them.  So for this reason, we would like him to be the only dog in the home.  Due to his sensitive nature, he is looking for an experienced owner who has previously worked with nervous or timid dogs and understands the time, patience, and consistency needed to help them thrive.  With the right person by his side, we believe he will continue to blossom into a loyal and loving companion.  He will need a private secure garden.  Any potential adopter will need to commit to multiple regular meet and greets so Cosmo can get to know them before the adoption takes place.

No cats for Cosmo.

As Cosmo came into the home as a stray we have no previous history on him so would prefer any children in the home to be 14+ years.

If you have a holiday booked in the next 3 months please wait until you return to apply for a dog.
